 AUSTIN, Texas, July 31.-The mail coach going and the one coming between Austin and Fredericksburg were stopped by high wayman near Dripping Springs Friday night and the mail pouches were robbed of their contents with the exception of two registered packages which escaped the notice of the robber. The highwayman stopped the in coming driver near where he was to meet the outgoing coach. He kept him bound and gagged until the other driver came up when he also stopped him. After despoiling the mail pouches the robber mounted his horse and galloped off. The amount of his booty is not known. Neither of the drivers claim to be able to identify him, being too busy watching the six-shooter levelled at their heads

Positive Revolution Taking Place.

The use of stimulants and narcotics to support or suppress the irritation and ex- ha lstion of fast living and overwork has been destroying the muscular and intellec- tual vigor of the American people, and more especially that most brainy, energetic class that are capable of getting the wherewith to indulge in such habits. So rapidly have these habits increased within the past twen- ty years, and so largely have this class in creased in numbers, the old prohibitory prin- ciples are voted out of sight at every elec- ton. With all this increase of insanity and lessening of the average of human life have kept an average pace. When it seemed all most hopeless for the church and moral as- sociations to try and stem the tide further, an eminent physician hit on 8 new bever age to take the place of the stimulant that gives better satisfaction to the drinker, does not stimulate or cause reaction, takes away the liquor appetite, feeds the nerves into a prodigious strength and endurance, re- moves nervousness from women, never loses it's effect more than any other food; it is harmless as milk and is favored into the most luscious milk on the market.

 The Mitchell quintette of Hartford met lasf evening many we'll known New Haven disci- pies of music, vocal and instrumental, at the residence of Professor Max Kastner, No. 12 Audubon street.

 Mrs. 0. W. Scott. MT. George E. Thorpe and
 MT. G. H. Mitchell, the leader. The quin-
 tette was organized about sixteen years ago
 and there has been no change in the members
 with one exception, when member died.
 MT. Mitchell has labored assiduously to make those over whom he presides the best vocal ists in the Capitol city, and it is generally conceded that the quintette is the best band of vocalists in Hartford. Among those who were present at Professor Kastner's residence and had the honor of making the acquaint- ance of the members of the quintette were: Miss Lizzie Gaffney of the Calvary Baptist and MT. T. J. Adams of the same church choir; Dr. G. M. Bush of the United church choir; Miss M. Collyer, Cornelius c. Myer. Q. o. Ford and MT. Robert Hofer of the Church of the Messiah choir; George Robin son, organist of the Calvary Baptist church; MT. Cornwall, organist of the United church; Richard Rose, pianist of Hartford; Dr. H. M. Bishop, Miss Bishop and many others.
 The evening was spent very pleasantly. Selections which e1icited great applause were sung by the quintette, Miss Gaffney, Dr. G. M Bush, T. J. Adams and Professor Kast- ner.
 Professor kastner served an excellent colla- tion to his musical guests, after which there was more song and music and then taking leave.
